Street Smarts is a fashion editorial feature for The Rake, showcasing a series of classic menswear looks that balance sophisticated tailoring with an approachable, lifestyle-focused aesthetic. The project captures model Sacha M'Baye across various outdoor urban settings, leaning into a warm, natural light palette that emphasizes the textures of premium fabrics such as tweed, corduroy, and wool.
Photographer Kim Lang and fashion editor Grace Gilfeather curate a series of layered, tactile compositions. The styling transitions from structured, formal tuxedo attire to relaxed, everyday layering, utilizing depth of field to ground the subject within the urban environment. The project employs a grainy, desaturated color treatment to maintain a cohesive, classic editorial look.
